RANDOM FACTS THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW BUT JUST TO ENTERTAIN AND WOW YOURSELF.

Right now, I'm pretty much obsessed with discovering random facts that I never knew. Its amazing to know what you can get from everyday life. 

Here's my list of what amazed me. Its gonna be quite a long list! Brace yourself and get fucking owned by random facts!

• In space, you can't cry because there isn't any gravity for the tears to flow
• Our eyes never grow from birth but our ears and nose never stop growing (WOW. I want a higher bridged nose in 7 years time!)
• 'Stewardesses' is the longest word you can type with your left hand (I bet my ass that you're trying it out now, aren'tcha'?)
• A pig's orgasm can last for 30 minutes (Isn't that pig tired or something?)
• Ants don't sleep
• Charles Osbourne had hiccups for 69 years (I'm kinda suspecting that this is some fake fact cus I don't know anyone who likes hiccups and does it for 69 years. That's some huge commitment there!)
• Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to slow the film down so you could see his moves. 
• Andy Warhol was a homosexual man but also a very religious man.
• Pearl melt in vinegar. (Care to try?)
• Turtles can breathe through their butts.
• On average, 100 people die from choking on their ball-point pens every year. (First of, why would anyone be stucking pens in their mouths?)
• In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY SINGLE hair on their body. That includes eyebrows and eyelashes. (Ouch, that's gotta hurt.)
• A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. (HAHAHAH! We've got a whole bunch of pregnant goldfishes in Singapore!)
• A walla-walla scene is one where extras pretend to be talking in the background -- when they say "walla-walla" it looks like they are actually talking. (Woah, and I always wondered what do those extras talk about in the background.)
• Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.
• Everytime Beethoven sat down to write music, he'd pour ice water over his head.
• Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete. (And you use concrete to heal a broken thigh bone. Riiiiiight.)
• If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. (Okay, that's reaaaally interesting. I didn't know that!)
• In 1980, a Las Vegas hospital suspended workers for betting on when patients would die.
• It is impossible to sneeze with eyes open (NOT TRUE! Mythbusters busted that myth!)
• Money isn't made from paper, it's made from cotton.
• Non dairy creamy is flammable.
• Owls are one of the only bird that can see blue.
• Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.
• The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Eygptians in 2000 BC (Doesn't it stink though?)
• To escape the grip of a crocodile's jaws, push your thumbs into its eyeballs -- it will let you go instantly. (DUH right. If someone bit me, hitting them somewhere painful like the shins or the groin would defo' make them forget that they have to bite me in the ass.)

I'm looking at Face hunter right now and I was telling Hui Shan in the previous break on how I never got that whole thing about leggings. 

First of all, it accentuates the size of your legs (for the better or worst, but I can definitely say that I cannot pull it off) and it is horrendously hideous looking. 

Get this clear though, I'm not trying to slam anyone here; it's more of a general perspective of those girls who think wearing leggings are awesomely cool. Of course if you think leggings are nice, by all means, wear it. Don't say I didn't warn you. (;

Leggings that are colourful are fine with me though because I am biased towards things that scream, 'LELONG AH! BRIGHT COLOURS!' 

The type of leggings that make me go in a crazy fit are those with lacey leggings, striped leggings with strings (wtf do they need to use the strings for? How in the fuck's world does it contribute to mankind? Pathetic.)

And striped leggings. As if wearing leggings itself doesn't already accentuate the legs. Wearing leggings already puts you in jeopardy of getting you killed and you still want to increase your stake by wearing STRIPED LEGGINGS? You've got to be kidding me.

In either way of wearing striped leggings, you still look funkily horrendous. 

If it's vertical, you look one step away from being a candy canes. If it's horizontal, you look like Ronald Macdonalds holding a stack of candy canes.

The only time I thought of wearing leggings were these awesome was when I saw this Balenciaga's Robot Leggings on the runway that were so eccentric and weird but it attracted me anyway.

But I just couldn't imagine myself walking in those metallic plates. I doubt I can even bend my knee to pick up a 10cent coin, much less walk.

Of course, what happens on runways stay on runways.

So, please, for the love of Anna Wintour, DON'T WEAR LEGGINGS. I wonder who invented them and what's the sole purpose of them. 

Another fashion paux (well, to me at least), I never got that high waisted jeans. Those 'mommy' jeans. 

Yeah yeah, talk about 'tucking' your tummies into your pants so that you look slimmer and all that. But hello, it still doesn't make much sense to me. Isn't it uncomfortable and constricting at all? 

WTF, how in the world do they even breathe in those pants?

This look so DOES NOT work on her.

HIDEOUS! UGGGGHH! GET IT AWAY FROM MY EYES! AHHHHH!

Right now, I'm just reeling away from that whole 'Bless that poor lamb's heart' thing.

I too have my fashion faux pas but the most important thing is to LEARN LEARN LEARN! Learn from your mistakes! 

And please, please pleaseeeee, don't wear leggings and high waisted jeans. It doesn't look good and they are just taking the whole idea of 60s to a WHOLE new different level, which makes you really think that you're back in the 60s. 

Like what HPB (Health Promotion Board) always encourage all Singaporeans, MODERATION, PEOPLE!

MODERATION IS THE KEY!

Little girl: Daddy, do people have white hair because they're old?

Dad: Yes. And, in fact, some people like me have almost no hair at all.
